When can we expect new episodes? What is it about and who is involved? We have researched what is currently known about the sequel.
Netflix confirms season 6 of “Virgin River”
Netflix usually makes a sequel dependent on how successful the current episodes are. However, as “Virgin River” is one of the streaming service’s most successful series, it was only a matter of time before another sequel was announced.
And fans can indeed rejoice: Netflix had announced, before the fifth season of the series had even been released, that it would be getting another instalment with season 6.
When will season 6 start on Netflix?
The sixth season of “Virgin River” has now been officially confirmed, but unfortunately there is still no start date. Filming is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2024. As soon as the relevant information on the release date is published, you will be informed on Scrollbytes.
What is certain, however, is that the new episodes will be available on the streaming platform from 9 a.m. on the day of release, as usual.
How many episodes are there in “Virgin River” season 6?
The first three seasons consist of ten episodes each, while season 4 and season 5 comprise a total of twelve episodes. Season 6 is based on seasons 1 to 3 and should also comprise ten episodes.
What could season 6 be about?
As the final episodes of the fifth season of “Virgin River” have only just been released, it is not yet possible to say anything specific about the plot of season 6. Accordingly, we can only speculate as to what the next instalment will be about.
